Okavango Delta
Witness a world of glittering water! The Okavango Delta is one of the largest inland deltas on earth. Each summer, floods pour through a vast network of narrow waterways, lagoons until they are soaked up by the sands. Expect diverse wildlife and birdlife – impala, tsessebe, sable and the elegant kudu, or thirsty buffalo, wildebeest and zebra in the dry season. Lions, cheetahs and wild dogs hunt in the open grassland! Experience game drives and safari walks on land, while boat or mokoru (a dugout canoe) rides allow you to silently glide pass crocodiles! {Please note that due to fluctuating weather conditions and decreased rainfall, water levels at the Okavango Delta may be lower than usual at the time of your visit. Our team will be happy to provide further updates closer to your travel dates and plan alternate activities if required}

What Our Guests Say
“Enchanting Travels has once again outdid themselves for me. My trip to South Africa and then unto Zimbabwe was flawless. Everything was well organized. What Enchanting Travels does well is make my dreams come true. Got to see all the Big Five by the end of our safari trip. The home hosted lunch in Zimbabwe was an excellent change to our itinerary when a previously scheduled activity fell through. My overall experience was truly wonderful.”
May 2026 Rating 5/5
“Enchanted Travels made our trip experience so relaxing. We never had to worry about anything. The app they used provided all the information we needed. The guides were always there for us and we didn’t need to worry about any administrative details beyond what time to meet the next day. All accommodations were first class and the included tours meant we didn’t have many expenses during out trip as everything was pre-paid.”

“Anna Thomas was very adept at planning our trip to South Africa, Zimbabwe and Botswana. She is a keen listener and grasped what I wanted on the trip. Her knowledge of the area, the lodging, game drives and the multitude of options at each stop are exactly what we wanted. The trip plan was exceptional and the actual trip went perfectly, without a hitch. I was truly a trip of a lifetime! I would recommend Anna as a trip planner/coordinator for anyone looking to travel in south and/or east Africa. I certainly plan on using her again.”

We saw an extraordinary number of animals and the accommodations were even better than pictured. Our personal guides were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and kind, even assisting with all our check-ins. Every transport worked seamlessly. It was a great experience, we highly recommend Enchanting Travels!”
